      All I Want For Christmas

      Dec 16, 2020

      IT was more than an icicle. More like an icy boulder, oversized and murkily white, faceted like a cartoon jewel and, shortly, dripping. It had lurked beneath a low stone bridge at the bottom of the wood, where sycamore thickets bald for winter gave w

      The last time I wrote, it was the night before the opening of Potfest in the Park, and we were sitting in the caravan we had rented, hoping for a dry weekend. Thankfully, apart from the occasional short shower, it was. I’m pleased to report that it w

      Well, how exciting! The spring equinox is only two days away. On the way to town, I’ve seen patches of leaves on hawthorn hedges, May blossom on the blackthorn, and lambs frolicking in the fields. Where we live and work, the spring is always a couple

      My father, Basil, was a hardworking West Virginia coal miner, so as a form of relaxation, he would do anything to make people laugh. For example, when my mom, Rachel, my sister, Brenda, and I prepared dinner, we all wore aprons that tied in the back.

      Miles the sheep farmer was coming to Lush Places to fix our leaking water troughs. He sent a text message to say he was here. I hopped over the stile, in my stylish, mud-smeared, sheepbitten paddock shorts and saw him at the far end of our pear orcha
